🥳 Push to your favorite tools

Leverage our Push feature to send data out of Whaly to any of your external tools. You can schedule the Push to your preferred time, and even automate your Google Sheets or Airtable with data from Whaly. This means you can work with data in the tools that suit you best, while ensuring that it's all reliably coming from your company's single source of truth (your Whaly BI). Push can also be used to schedule screenshot exports, to inform collaborators on goals and status, and keep everyone on track.
